Connection problems - Failed to connect to server

[thomasjan]

Hello,

Me and my friend can't join each other in an online game. When we try to connect the game loads at one computer, the host is sees the nickname for a few seconds and then it disappears. The message 'Failed to connect to server' appears in the friends screen.

What we have tried:
- Restarting the game
- Hosting the game on both computers
- Switching regions
- Play without VPN

On the internet we have seen multiple topics but none that is the same as ours.

Does anyone have to solution to our problem?

I have been trying to find a fix myself. no luck.

same problem for us, the problem would come from the exchange of data which is too weak so sometimes after 15 tries we will succeed in co until the moment when we will lose the co etc etc etc

[IamJames]

devs need to sort this.

[IamJames]

Me and a mate think we have found the reason, when a save has anything built you can't connect to the game. When a save has nothing in it just the starting stuff you can connect. No fix found but that seems to be the issue for whatever reason.

Paradox for you devs are jokers

same issue here, in a group of three. one hosts and other 2 try join obviously and the two joining have to try multiple times before connecting to the server. one person generally more than the other. is a real pain in the ass

No, the new devs are turning a blind eye and are not acknowledging it, because its going to cost them money to fix

There is no solution for us. It's a server limitation. Paradox is not willing to shell out money for adequate servers.

Bought the game specifically to play with a friend after Rimworld multiplayer, figuring because PA has native multiplayer it would be great, having the same connection issues as everyone else. It would be much better if they just implement listen servers so the connection is direct
